A West Palm Beach woman was issued a trespass warning after police said she slashed a car tire in the Tideline Ocean Resort & Spa parking lot.

At about 2 p.m. Thursday, police were called to the hotel in Palm Beach about a woman possibly slashing tires, according to a police report. Police said they met with the 25-year-old woman, who said she was picking up her rented Chevy Malibu — which was parked in the parking lot — from her husband.

She told police her husband was staying at the Tideline and was having an affair with the woman who drove a white BMW parked about 10 spots over, according to the report. She told police that she slashed the front passenger tire of the BMW and that the knife was in her purse.

After handcuffing the woman, police said they spoke with a Tideline employee, who said he saw the woman run out of the front door of the resort, stand next to the Chevy Malibu and slowly walk to the BMW. The employee said he heard the sound of air coming out of a tire and saw her place a silver object into a bag, according to the report.

Police then met with a 30-year-old Riviera Beach resident, who was checking out in the resort lobby and had driven the BMW, according to the report. She told police she was not the owner of the BMW and could not contact the registered owner, police said. According to the report, the woman contacted the owner’s business partner, who said they did not want to press charges.

Police issued the woman accused of slashing the tire a trespass warning.
